They wanted to use New York to make a movie, I think the producers were sucking up to someone in the administration. Here's a related article:<br />http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_n28_v9/ai_13183511/Angry Pandahttp://www.monoamericano.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2915799281171103517.post-11143240468438842852009-07-17T23:31:08.239-04:002009-07-17T23:31:08.239-04:00blame Reagan.blame Reagan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2915799281171103517.post-21575847806487421152009-07-02T08:11:32.472-04:002009-07-02T08:11:32.472-04:00hes an ass because they needed someone to "fi...hes an ass because they needed someone to "fight" against Peter which worked out perfectly and why not a previllian to the main villian GozerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2915799281171103517.post-73190591512394468622009-05-03T01:35:00.000-04:002009-05-03T01:35:00.000-04:00I suppose the FCC would have been a better choice ...I suppose the FCC would have been a better choice for realism, since Peck thought they were frauds, but they needed a way to shut off the storage facility, and the FCC wouldn't do that.
